Growing call for inquiry over claims that Boris Johnson tried to secure Foreign Office role for then girlfriend

Correspondence exists confirming that Boris Johnson attempted in 2019 to secure a senior role for his then girlfriend, Carrie Johnson, at the Foreign Office, a source has said, amid growing calls for an inquiry.

The source, who worked with Johnson at the time, said Carrie Johnson - now the prime minister's wife - had never progressed as far as formally applying for the role.
